Why Women Get “Trapped” By the Sensitive Man: Understanding the “Cry Baby!”

Marni Battista — Mon, 03 May 2010 16:54:33 +0000

The Cry Baby is a man who may blame himself for what is not right in his life and often battles feelings of guilt. He may truly love you, but is unable to cope, manage or create win-win relationships. Instead of communicating his fears or changing his behaviors, he will often blame you, and then feel guilty that he can't give you what you need. He often will avoid confrontation, take everything personally, and often will feel as if he is being persecuted for his and other's mistakes. He will typically keep his feelings and opinions to himself, except for when he is blaming you. In addition, the Cry Baby can quickly fall into co-dependent relationships yet always feels like he is "alone," and that nobody understands his plight. The Cry Baby will often sabotage relationships, feeling he is truly not deserving or capable of having one.
